I like Mandriva. it is one of those quiet, under rated distros. I've not used it in a long time, but it was always slick and polished. I use Arch Linux. -- If you try, you can envision peas on earth.

I have live CDs of Knoppix, Ubuntu and Mandriva and have messed with a couple of them (and a live DVD of Knoppix)....I have a new PC on my network and am studying how to make it dual boot. Just got a partition manager and I 'think' I will install Mandriva on new partition. Proceeding slowly... (Can't dispense with Windows XP, because I have too many toys running on it which Linux doesn't have.)
